NIGHTMARE OF THE DEVIL'S MOUNTAIN

Coded Language

"Wave" is one of the most famous Bossa nova songs composed of great Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and the title song of his fifths studio album  published in 1967.
I tried to created an other new interpretation of the piece. Hope you enjoy !

WAVE  Tom Jobim

This was my third collaborative song with Rodolfo, which we started in 2020. The original instrumental piece he gave me sounded like determined optimism and at that particular moment the pandemic made its way into anything I wrote although the beauty of the song is that anyone can bring their own interpretation to its meaning. Its original title was ‘Camino a Mañana’, that I translated as ‘The Route To Tomorrow’ - I guess I liked the alliteration - even though it was a bit of a tongue twister to sing.

I instantly loved the rhythmic punch of this track and recognised early on that it would require a punchy lyric and vocal. Initially I sung the harmony vocals that Rodolfo devised, but as we later developed into the band ‘Continental Collision’ it made sense to draw on all of the talent available in Ce and Gonza, and here introducing Cintia Galeano. Huge thanks to my wonderfully gifted collaborators, you helped make this song shine. I was stunned (as always) by Rodolfo’s attention to detail, his glorious guitar solos and particularly the drumming throughout. Although I might not add to the instrumentation personally, Rodolfo always encourages me to give him feedback. I am particularly fond of this collaboration and each time we work together I learn so much more. Hope you enjoy it too and many thanks for listening. 

Finding the way,
To get through night and day,
Is just too much.
Making your way
Once more through the fray,
Without losing touch,
Is too much,
For me, yeah.

Waiting in line, 
With no hint of a sign,
Is just too much.
Pretending I’m fine 
Knowing that you’re not mine,
It’s too, it’s just too much,
For me,
All of the time.

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

I’ll be OK, 
Whatever they say,
I can take it.
Know I can’t stay,
Gotta get me away
From here.
Before it gets too much for me, here.

I can survive,    
I might even just thrive.
If I make it.
I’m still alive,
Watch me as I arrive,
At the other side of all this pain and sorrow  

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

"Echoed Dionysus"

Music and Lyrics By: Jonas L. Cockson


Rock Is Dead
I do declare!

Staring curiously
through a
chain-link fence
at moss covered stones
of decadence
rock is dead

Rock is Dead!

Wandering aimlessly
through a field of bones
of dissonant chords
and overtones
rock is dead...

(For Jim Morrison)

Lyrics: 

Pt.1
It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
I play no more the frontman
I’m better off serving you
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Went up to Mystic Mountain
Picked berries from the bush
So many I couldn’t count them 
Each one unveiled a truth
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the face that makes good everything

What rained upon the prophets
Same rain that drench me now
The old mantle I’ve not lost it
It’s on me like a vow
O let the water wash me clean
you’re the vision of a million magic dreams

Well there’s music in the alley
And sweet smoke in the air
No need for tinpot rallies
It’s safer here than there
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the sweetest note in every song I sing

It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
If I was the doorman
You would walk straight through
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Pt. 2
It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
steadfast I do not stray
Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
Faithful are the flock
The week spirited don’t obey 
Here me now
Accused of serving for your protection
Here me now  
and then you take it all away in objection
Here me now 
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

I know my redeemer liveth 
Dem take away and then dem giveth 
Lo! how dem adversity afflicteth 
Thou art most merciful of all and forgiveth 
Naked from the mother's womb
Naked shall I return there
Naked from the mother's womb
Faithful without demand I shall return there
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
Even though you took it all away
The devil covered up your tracks
Tempting to lead me astray 
Him covered up your tracks
But faith guides me back onto your way
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me to corruption
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me with deception
Here me now
Behold, the will of the Lord, that is wisdom
And to depart from evil is understanding
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Pt. 3
Babylon done a gonna flood now
Flooding down here in Babylon
Gonna sing jah jah praises
Dem praises gonna carry us home

Our second collaboration, it's been great working with @gmo2020 again! 
He provided all the drum parts, then I layered on all the synth parts. I sent to him to dial in the final mix and master. Thanks for listening!

It's been a while since the great Roots Dubman (@dubman-9) and I have worked together, so this track was a pure pleasure to create.

Hello dear friends
I haven’t been very active the last few weeks. Just wanted to take some time off social medias.
Anyway, here’s my 1st and newest track for 2022
What can I say about 2021.….I guess it was pretty eventful and traumatic for so many of us. Trying very hard to live a normal life has been very chaotic to say the least.
Although I stopped watching the news on tv many years ago, I’ve kept in touch with what’s been going on through many independent news websites and of course Youtube.
Seeing the world, society divided in two, the hatred directed towards those who only asked questions, well it’s been very hard to deal with.
Trying not to lose your mind….not easy. Asking myself, what is the truth or rather, what is the lie, without so far any real answers to all my questions.
Anyway, I noticed that the new movie, ‘ The Matrix’ just came out, so decided to watch the 1st three again before watching the latest, and wow….it was the perfect time to watch them.
With what’s happened in the world, it was mind blowing. Makes me wonder about what is actually real.
I wish you all an awesome Happy, Healthy, Free New Year. Enjoy. Love to all. Copyright protected ©

Mystic Truth ©

Seeking sanctuary in the solitude of sorrow.

A flash of lightning thru the back of his head 
Inspiration not a feeling a dread
 Let’s step back
No one wants to say 
War
All the rows of brothers dead on the shore 
Now if you’re willing

Now the feeling starts
The theater’s dark 
And the beam of light is making its mark 
it coulda been quite a movie

I noticed a field 
A million flowers 
Sun-drenched from above 
But here
There is no way out

Cut down
and waiting
His eyes found my eyes
Can we survive?
 we're falling down days

We’re driving in a car down the coast 
To see a day she loves the most 
Were on a sailboat 
The sun is floating over the sea
 I shot that boy he landed on me 
There's no prayers that bring him back

i tried to fight
but theres no power 
 left in this old glove 
ever here
inside a drop of rose water on your cheek...

..Cut down
and waiting
His eyes found my eyes
Can we survive?
maybe just maybe

You said ‘cynical me’?
 I say gullible you

Cut down
we're waiting
Can we survive?

Cut Down and Waiting (A Soldier'sTale)

How many time have you held the hand of the Devil and kissed his lips, traded your dreams for a pocket full of lies and what would you give to go back there and change that moment in time.....would you kiss the lips of the Devil again just one last time.....join me ....

The beast is my Les Paul  and i promised her that i would set her free in the new year , so being a man of my word here she is in all her glory...The beast kisses the devils lips...Its another fun song... Paly it loud if you really want to meet the Beast ...

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!
